The Union Town Board Tuesday approved a letter that ends a delay in developing plans for a new fire and ambulance station in Brussels and the remodeling of a fire station in Gardner.

A Long-Range Study Committee formed by the board that oversees the Brussels-Union-Gardner (BUG) Fire Department has spent two years developing preliminary plans for a relocated Brussels station - referred to as BUG's South Station - while simultaneously adding on to and bringing up to current building codes BUG's North Station, in the Stevenson Pier area.
